Functional Genomics
Focuses on understanding the relationship between an organism's genome and its phenotype, particularly the functions of genes and non-coding regions of the genome.
Sequence Alignment
Used to identify similarities and differences between DNA, RNA, or protein sequences, which can infer functional, structural, or evolutionary relationships.
Epigenomics
The study of the complete set of epigenetic modifications on the genetic material of a cell, which can affect gene expression without altering the DNA sequence.
BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool)
Allows researchers to compare a query sequence with a library or database of sequences, and identify library sequences that resemble the query sequence above a certain threshold.
Genome Assembly
The process of putting together sequences from short DNA fragments, which reveals the complete genome sequence of an organism.
Machine Learning in Genomics
Applied to analyze complex patterns in genomic data, which can lead to the discovery of new genetic features and understandings of disease mechanisms.
ChIP-seq (Chromatin Immunoprecipitation sequencing)
Combines chromatin immunoprecipitation with sequencing to identify the binding sites of DNA-associated proteins.
Microarray Analysis
Used to detect the expression of thousands of genes simultaneously or to genotype multiple regions of a genome.
SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) Analysis
Essential for studying genetic variation between individuals and populations, which can be associated with disease and response to drugs.
Protein Structure Prediction
Predicts the three-dimensional structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence, which can provide insights into the protein's function.
RNA-seq (RNA sequencing)
Enables the study of an organism's transcriptome, the complete set of RNA transcripts produced by the genome at any one time.
CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing
A genetic engineering tool used to edit genomes with high precision, which has revolutionized genetics by enabling targeted modifications to DNA.
Phylogenetics
The study of the evolutionary history and relationships among individuals or groups of organisms.
Metagenomics
The study of genetic material recovered directly from environmental samples, which can be used to understand microbial communities and diversity.
Comparative Genomics
The study and comparison of genomes within a single species, or between different species, to understand the genetic basis of phenotypic diversity and evolutionary relationships.
